Aussie Finch Forum

Well got the old bird feeder out and was mowing the lawn with ride on and happen to see these 2...taken with phone sorry bit blurry

They are so beautiful it could nearly sway a fincho to the DARK SIDE.
When I was in Queensland last year I saw 9 Crimson Wings feeding on wild Sun Flower plants right at the roads edge.
I stopped and watched them, truely a beautiful site.

One of the best wild bird sights I've ever seen was a large mixed flock of crimsonwings & major mitchells feeding on a patch of paddymelons - beautiful.

Another good reason to put your hand up for the Gouldian Count in Wyndham. They are plentyful up North.

The Crimson Wings are beautiful parrots.There on my list to keep one day.

I also saw a pair near Manila NSW also feeding on the small sunflower bush on the side of the road about 18 months ago.

The sun was rising early in the morning and the shine of the green and red is a memory i will never forget, gives me goose bumps thinking about it now.
